|
Longmorn 16 yo, 48%, OB - disappointed and
have written myself a note to try to get ahold
of some of the old 15 yo this bottling replaced.
Beautiful packaging though!

|
Ardbeg Corryvreckan, NAS, 57.1%, OB
Totally blew away the Renaissance but the SMWS
33.71 held up better. The 'vreckan
rocks and I'm kicking myself for not getting
any...
|
|
Ardbeg 10 yo, 5/98-8/08, 55.8%, Bottling
33.71, SMWS. This is another great
Ardbeg that's all huge creosote, tarry monster -
a prime evil malt complex in your glass.
I'm in love again!
|
|
Ardbeg Renaissance, 10 yo, 55.9%, OB I
thought I had died and gone to heaven until I
tasted the Corryvreckan and the SMWS 33.71.
Now I have bottle envy!
|
|
Octomore, 5 yo, 46%, 10/16/02-4/08, Buffalo
Trace X-Bourbon Cask, OB Futures - first
bottling. Not as peaty as I expected but
tasty and well balanced for such a young malt.
More peat with a couple of drops of water on
both the nose and palate Good but
not what I had expected. Did a HTH against
a 4 month old sample of Octomore from Whiskies
of the World 2003 tasting panel run by Jim
McEwan and it was a lot peatier and in your
face. Interesting! |
